ObjectivesTo compare the laboratory and clinical outcome of patients who received solvent/detergent-treated plasma (SDP) and fresh-frozen plasma (FFP).MethodsA randomized, double-blinded study to assess the ability of SDP and FFP to reduce a prolonged prothrombin time (PT) to =15 s in patients with acquired coagulation deficits.Results45 patients (22 SDP vs. 23 FFP) were treated with 71 infusions. There were no significant differences in mean dose of plasma infused (7.8 ml/kg for SDP vs. 8.0 ml/kg for FFP, p = 0.46), percentage of patients who corrected their PT to =15 s (32% for SDP vs. 26% for FFP, p = 0.67), or percentage of patients whose bleeding ceased (27% for SDP vs. 22% for FFP).ConclusionNo clinical or statistically significant differences were observed after infusion with SDP or FFP in patients with acquired coagulation deficits.Copyright 2000 S.
